On Reconstructing a Convex Polygon from Partial Information
Abstract
The reconstruction problem asks to construct a (convex) polygon that has a specified set of features, such as an ordered set of edge-lengths or an ordered set of polygon-angles. In this paper, we do a systematic exploration of the reconstruction problem in all scenarios where one or two sets of features have been specified. Some of these scenarios were well-studied already, for some we develop testing-algorithms and/or hardness results, and many give rise to interesting open problems for future study.
